Man, that Lugia pic is such a damn eyesore though.

Lugia is near 60-40ing Frog at the freeze. Prepare yourself, Crono.

Frog putting up 40% on Cloud.

It masterfully blends in to the background. If Vincent had gotten a normal pic, Lugia's would easily be the worst of the round.

Wow, Frog is looking very strong. Held steady and everything while Cloud gained exclusively from Lugia.

So what % does Cloud have to finish at for this to be a disappointing showing? He's going to rise a ton from here, but how much is 'a ton'?

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I think Frog is at the advantage with this being a morning match (errr, U.S. morning).

I'd be stunned if Frog didn't beat Lugia, even with him being down like this. Lugia's picture is abysmal.

I still think Pika's a stone-cold lock. Heck, even if Dante wins easily I won't change my conviction on that.

This says great things about Magus more than Crono to me although Magus barely tripled Jade Curtiss.

Didn't Samus 70/30 Frog in the 4-ways? Anything much less than what she got would be disappointing, I feel.

I think this is a very good showing from Frog. But I also found Lugia's R1 performance more impressive than most people did.

I had Lugia beating Frog comfortably. If Lugia can't do that to Frog then Pikachu is royally screwed.

Lugia was facing some pretty weak competition. the only reason it even had a chance here is Square LFF.

I won't say stone-cold lock, but I agree that Pikachu should win. The closer that match gets, the more I feel like it's going to be a really close finish one way or the other. I just don't see Pikachu blowing out Crono.

This is the fourth straight match in a row where I'm really glad I played it safe with Expert picks. I'm within striking distance of the leaderboard and feel I can easily find myself in contention if Kirby > Sephiroth plays out. Biding one's time and betting big on the matches you can really feel in your gut is such a better strategy than always risking it (and risking it more and more when you fall behind). Too bad I don't have the discipline to always play this way.

Omitted scores got it wrong

We knew this was coming after Kefka wrecked us in Round 2. The last -10 (104 points) falls. We didn't have any -11s or -12s to begin with. Prediction percentage rises as you go down and finally reached the double digits consistantly at -22 (92 points). The casuals still beat us with prediction percentages in the 20s. A 2 bracket (as in 2 points) gets the match right.

7 people fell off the Top 49. transience, Vortex268, Were_Tiger, Xcarvenger, YasumiWatahashi, Yleffl and Achromatic did not have Kefka winning.

40 people got it wrong and survived.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I Go Big Or Go Home in every match and I'm currently in the Top 10. It can and probably will bite me in the ass soon enough, but I feel like it's your only option if you actually want to win money. Just getting onto the leaderboard isn't enough - when there's a fairly large disparity between people. I mean, the #1 guy is like 3-4 matches ahead of me. Not gonna close that gap by banking!

Can't bear to see Cloud with a percent as low as 42... fast-forward to the TDZ please!

Cloud's antivotes seem to be sticking around longer much like Sephiroth's did in his last match. Based on that Cloud should finish at around 50% - but I expect more from him because Frog is going to collapse once the TDZ hits and Lugia is going to fall apart more severely than usual because the picture's influence will become more pronounced as the match goes on.
